About us

The Diskos National Data Repository (NDR) is Norway's national data repository for petroleum data.

Diskos is a joint venture consisting of the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) and oil companies on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. NPD coordinates and manages the joint venture.

Diskos was established to develop and operate a database containing relevant petroleum data. The NDR is set up for:

Reporting to authorities

Sharing and trading of data between licensees

Access to public data

Data stored in Diskos as a result of the mandatory reporting requirements according to petroleum legislation, is the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate's archive. This enables the NPD to use Diskos to make the data available to the public and all interested companies when confidentiality periods expire.
